Just a Conservative musing, raving, and joking

Satan Must be Wearing a Parka

I truly never thought this day would come but it has and I’ve been watching the farm next door with quite a bit of intensity and a video camera. I’m expecting the pigs to lift off at any moment. I have found myself on the same side of an issue as White House reporter and outspoken, unapologetic left-wing liberal Helen Thomas. Once the light-headedness passed and I could once again think straight I watched the video of Ms. Thomas and other members of Obama’s “in the tank” press corps demand answers from Robert Gibbs on the laughable Town Hall style meetings on healthcare, the first of which aired on the All Barack Channel June 24th and the second happening via the internet on Wednesday, July 1st. For just a moment I thought Dana Perino had re-emerged as WH Press Secretary, such was the intensity coming from Ms. Thomas. Attacking Robert Gibbs on the WH’s lack of transparency, planting and/or pre-screening the questions the President would answer and filling his audience with BO supporters and union members, the reporters seemed to have caught Gibby off-guard. His nervous laughter, choppy answers, repetitiveness and nervous smirk were a beautiful thing to behold.

“I’m amazed at you people who call for openness and transparency,” said veteran White House reporter Helen Thomas.

“And you haven’t heard the questions,” Gibbs shot back.

“It doesn’t matter. It’s the process,” CBS’ Chip Reid argued. “Even if there’s a tough question, it’s a question coming from somebody who was invited or who was screened or the question was screened.”

Back and forth Gibby and the press went, him not answering any questions and them not giving an inch. Is this the end of the “slobbering love affair” between Obama and his precious MSM Bernie Goldberg speaks about? Have Helen Thomas and Chip Reid stopped partaking of the White House’s complimentary Kool-Aid? Hopefully they’ll perform interventions on all of the press corps and we can finally see some real, unbiased, fair reporting coming out of those crowded offices.
